Senator Sherman.

II must see with my own eyes, and
touch with my own hands" said Mr..
Burke. on one occasion, discussing q
great question. 1t has long been
one of the unaccountable puzzles
that more congressman did not famll-
iarize themselves with the great in
dustrial interests and various sections
of the country. For twenty years
the Southern question was burning
issue, and yet not half dozen con-
gressmen ever made a study of it
South. SO with the great industrial
interests of the south and west that
have leaped into prodigious activity
in the last ten years. So with our
campaigns. There has been a good
deal of talk of carrying the republic
an standard into the South, but we
do not know of but one or two New
England speakers that have tried it,
and only one or two from other sec
tions. This policy was urged in this
paper ten years ago, and what was
preached was practiced in one MEM
orable campaign.
Senator Sherman has late-but
better late than never-cOncluded to
see with his own eyes and touch with
his own hands. He is making a tour
of the South, and at Nashville Thurs
dav he addressed the legislature by
invitation. This trip will do Sena-
tor Sherman just as much good as
his presence and words will encOur-
age the republicans of the South.
Those republicans, whether white or
black, are the original Unionists, and
better or truer republicans cannot be
found anywhere else. They are
brave, loyal, large-hearted men, and
the women are of the same character.
Recognition of this class in the South
Is one of the needs of the hour, and
in the next presidential campaign it
ought to be thoroughly done. The
two Virginias, North Carolina. Tenn
esee, and Florida ought to be lighted
with republican campfires from the
opening to the close of the campaign.

After he had vetoed the dependent
pension bill congress was ready to
pass it over the veto, but Mr.. Cleve-
land sent for q great number of con-
gressmen and gave them to under
stand in the most emphatic manner
possible that he didn't wish it passed,
and that he would find out who were
his friends and who were not by the
veto. The presidential desk is said to
have groaned under the passionate
blows of the presidential hand for the
purpose of emphasizing the owners
desire to prevent the veto from being
overridden.-N Y. Sun,

A SANDER Upon Vermont,

Mr.. Walker of Vermont enjoys the
distinction of having done his best
to free Vermont from the domination
of a very corrupt railroad ring.-N
Y. Post.
The assertion that Vermont is or
has been ruled by a corrupt railroad
ring has been repeated by few pa
pers of the stamp of the New York
Evol,i"g Post and Springfield Repub-
lican till perhaps they begin to be-
lieve it. 1t was, however, originally
distinct falsehood, and is still a
distinct and baseless SANDER. The
foundation for it was the fact that at
session of the legislature, many
wears ago. there was a 'lOst-baggage
brigade" of lawyers and Legislators,
who were paid retaining fees of $50
apiece, By an agent of the Vermont
Central road, in the expectation that
they would thereupon assist, or at
least would not oppose the road in
regard to some legislation affecting
its interests. But the whole matter
was so thoroughly investigated and
exposed at the time-an investiga-
ton and exposure which would not
have been possible if the state or its
legislature had been under railroad
controI-that the persons implicated
undoubtedly sincerely regretted their
fault; and it was never, so far as we
know, been repeated. The list of
our United States senators, congress
men, governors, judges, and other
holders of state offices for the past
twenty years, is a perfectly conclu-
sive refutation of the charge that any
railroad ring controls Vermont. The
session laws of the state. and nOta-
bly, the railroad commission bill of
the last legislature, show that the
railroads do not control Legislation in
Vermont. If the Post were ehal-
Ienged for facts to sustain its charge,
it would find itself at loss for evil
dence.
If there is a railroad ring in YER
mont this paper will not be supposed,
BY any one, to belong to it. We
therefore expect to be believed when
we know of no such thing as ''cor-
rupt railroad ring" in Vermont, and
We do not believe there is one. YER
mont is not a good state for rings,
anyhow, and it is simple justice to
its leading railroad managers to say
that they are most of them men Of
high standing as regards personal
character and as rule thev do not
attempt TO carry their points by the
corrupt methods common enough in
some communities. Some of them,
no doubt, might be little more scru-
pulous in regard to the tools and
methods which they make use Of.
But it is slandering them and the
whole state of Vermont to say that it
is dominated by "a very corrupt rail-
road ring" The charge is false.

ture. Ii remains 10 be seen where

coercion and eager for fight. The
coercion bill was introduced by Mr..
Balfour in order, it is said, that the
supremacy of the crown law might
be restored in Ireland before reform
legislation was attempted. But the
Parnellites have not been disposed to
regard the measure as anything but
a cruel and vindictive blow at the
Irish cause. and even Mr.. Morley's
proposal of an amendment, that the
landlords be coerced first, has in no
degree Modified their wrath. They
declare that Ireland will not submit
to coercion in any form. A crisis is
evidently approaching in this strug-
ole.

The Irish Situation.

The situation of Ireland becomes
graver every day. The decision OF
the British Government to pass a CO.
ercion bill before the consideration
/ of anv measure for the relief of the
situation, which is urged i'll justifica-
ton of coercion. is a very significant
and important act There is, we be-
lieve, no serious denial that
the decline of the productive
value of land in Ireland has made
it impossible for Irish tenants, by
whatever industry and skill, to pay
rents which were determined under
different conditions. In this situa-
ton, however unlawful the plan of
campaign may be, it is the part of
wise craftsmanship to deal with the
actual facts and circumstances and
provide some relief before proceed
ing to the extremity of coercion.
This is the curse which is suggest
ed by Mr.. Morely's amendment to
the Government motion that the CO.
ercion bill shall take precedence of
every other question. His amend
1nent declares that ''the House de-
clines to set aside business in favor
of a measure increasing the stringen-
CIV of the law in Ireland, while no eff
fective security is taken against the
abuse of the law by the exaction of
excessive rents The Government
promises an early presentation of
its land bill. But that promise is an
admission that some land bill is nee
essarv in other words, that the pres
ent situation is not satisfactory. If
that be so, in view of the discomfort,
suffering, and distrust of Ireland, is
it not evident that to insist upon
measures of coercion before consider
ing measures of relief is to deal OBJ
stinately and unwisely with a critical
situation?
The feeling of Englishmen who
sustain the Government is that the
whole Irish agitation is merely con-
spiracy for separation and imperial
dissolution. They do not admit that
there is any especial suffering. They
assert that the laws are equal, and
that there is no more reason for dis
content in Ireland than elsewhere in
the kingdom. Mr.. Bright says that
he does not doubt that under
the leaders of the agitation the Irish
would vote to MAKE Ireland a state
OF the American Union. But he
adds that he does not think England
would be bound to acquiesce. The
general feeling not only of Tories but
of Liberal UniOnists is that coercion
is the sole solvent of the situation,
and that it is high time to ascertain
whether the empire is strong enough
to enforce its own laws. 1t is this
feeling which MAJ es the gravity of
the situation, and the passage of the
coercion bill will lead probably to Sc
rious results. 1t will be ably oppos-
ed, however, by Mr.. Gladstone and
his friends. But the intensity of the
feeling can be seen in a remark of
the London Times, that the prolonga-
ton of the debate would amount to
obstruction, and ought not to be toll

THE NEW RAIIsN AY LAW.

The Interstate commerce bill, OF
new railroad law takes effect next
Monday. In some respects it
amounts to almost a revolution in
railroad affairs. 1t is designed to
correct certain abuses which have for
twenty-five years been gradually
creeping into the railroad service, to
prevent the oppression of monopoly,
to equalize certain things, and to
prevent unjust determinations. The
bill by many is considered vague in
some of its provisions, and crude ;
others take a different view. The
practical enforcement of the law only
will test it. Most of the railroads
apparently are cheerfully complying
with the new order of things. Occa-
sionally one is reported as trying to
evade it, or at least are sour on it.
1t should be the opportunity, both of
the railroads and the people. Most
new laws are crude and after trial
are improved by amendment I'M
doubleday this law will be no excep-
ton in that respect.
Among the prominent abuses
sought to be corrected by this new
act is that of the ''free pass" al
legged to be given for political infu-
ence, or for the corruption of courts
or legislation. In the state of Geor-
gia it is stated that 5000 people have
been travelling on free passes. 1t is
also said that congressman from the
Pacific slope have been allowed
$4,000 mileage, while they carried
free passes over the entire distance.
Other congressman are said to have
made money in a similar manner by
attending ''funeral junkets." Some
of these statements may be exagger-
alton, but Charles Francis Adams,
who is among the best and most au-
thoritative of writer's onsthis subject,
testifies to this great abuse. 1t is
now the pEortunity of the railroads
to unload this burden, and, as they
unload, they will be able to serve the
people, the '.silent multitude" with
lower passenger rates. Most GER
tainly all ought to receive such an
effect with favor. As for passes Civ
en- for political influence, in any
form, no word can be said in their
defence. and such an abuse should be
most etfectually wiped out instanter.
Another prominent abuse which
has led to the new railroad legislation
is that of unjust and unequal discrim-
nations as to freights. We confess
we have not the fullest expectations
on this point. There is no doubt of
frequent unequal determinations
heretofore, but whether a statute law
will do more than the s'law Of trade
or claw of competition, remains to
be seen. 1t is claimed by some that
the effect Of the new law will be to
reduce the rates of freights on '.short
hauls," and increase the same on
''long hauls." OF course this is
really a very SimDle intention of fhe
bill, bat the question is will there be
gain to the people as a whole? 1t
may prove reduction of freight rates
throughout New England and an in
crease Of the same from the west.

of New England hereafter have to
pay more freight on their goods from

Afgan distrust of Russia has reach
ed the point of offensive action final
". The Ameer is resolved to re-
sist further Muscovite advance in his
direction. He has accordingly issued
circulars denouncing the Gar as n
tyrant and promise-breaker, and pro-
claiming jsha Ia holy war-against
him. The Moslem teachers are to be
the propagrandist of this new defiance.
They have been summoned to Kapul,
Toasted, indoctrinated, and sent forth
on their mission. Undoubtedly the
Afghan ruler has sufficient cause for
uneasiness, but if his challenge is ac-
cepted, it will, of course, involve
England, whose Indian interests
have always demanded the integrity
of this outlaying province. Possibly
Russia Is menacing Afghanistan as a

support which England has been Civ

for Prohibition in Michigan has been
a gallant one, and has been carried on
irrespective of party lines. The Wom-

taken the lead in the contest, and
has done an immense amount of eff

vigorously in every direction.
OF course other agencies have been
at work to the same end, and among

as it has never been on any other
question. All the indications are that
the amendment will be carried by a
large majority.
